Cedar Falls is located within the city of Seattle's watershed. As such, it is closed to the public. The good news is, the waterfall can be viewed by taking several tours available from the Cedar River Watershed Education Center. The center features a lot of cool displays about drinking water and a really cool outdoor, rain powered drum set that you have to see to believe.

The waterfall itself drops about 75' in two beautiful tiers into one of the prettiest pools of water anywhere. Cascade Creek also enters the pool on the left, running over a little cascading waterfall of its own. There are said to be several other waterfalls in the Watershed, but these ones are off limits to the public. While this is a disappointment, we are least lucky to have access to this beautiful falls.
